Can you introduce yourself in a few words? Your age, your family situation and the country you live in?

Philippe

I’m 38 years old, I am the father of two children, and I live in Paris.

Tell us about your career and how you joined Argos?

Philippe

After starting my career in the financial markets, I had the opportunity to join the world of private equity in 2017. I wanted to be closer to the real economy and to play a more concrete role in long-term corporate development. I came into contact with Argos in an unusual way. I met the person in charge of recruiting at a wedding.

The world of private equity has changed a lot in recent years. What is your definition of PE? How do you see it?

Philippe

For me, private equity means bringing skills and human and financial resources to a company in order to step up its development.
The world of private equity has changed a lot in recent years. It has been attracting more and more investors in search of higher yields in a low-interest-rate environment as well as those who want to give more meaning to their investments. All this has intensified competition. So you have to be able to demonstrate performance over a long period and differentiate yourself.
This is what Argos has been doing for nearly 30 years. Argos has longstanding expertise in acquiring companies through atypical transactions, and more recently Argos has launched a strategy aimed at supporting European companies in their environmental transition.

The feeling that guides you the most in your daily life?

Philippe

Learning. This is why I turned to finance and more specifically to investor relations. In addition to benefiting from the experience of our investment team, I have the opportunity to learn from clients and to understand their objectives and their constraints.

How do you balance your professional and personal life? (e.g. family, sports, etc.)

Philippe

I try to spend as much time as possible with family and friends and to play sports regularly.

Outside of your job, what are your passions or commitments?

Philippe

I am passionate about wine. I think wine brings people together in a way that enables them to share what they learn. I have met fascinating people, be they winemakers or others who also love wine. So much so that I decided four years ago to attend wine-tasting classes. Since then, I’ve been able to better understand wine and better describe what I taste.

How do you see yourself in 10 years?

Philippe

In 2014, I had the opportunity to launch a restaurant and a financial information company, which made me excited about becoming a business-owner. So I see myself continuing my private equity career alongside my new entrepreneurial endeavour.

Do you have a place to share with us that reflects you? A place that inspires you and contributes to your balance?

Philippe

The two regions where I have spent most of my holidays: the Dordogne, also known as the “Périgord vert” and the Basque region. Each of these regions has a very strong identity, particularly in the culinary arts. I go to the Dordogne for big family gatherings and to the Basque country to see friends.

In another life, you would be... ?

Philippe

I would love to be a musician or to play a sport at a high-level.
